Genius bottle gold paint

Like a lot of fellow figurepainters I use

Vallejo paint, and I took a closer look at 

The label of this gold paint. 

There was a warning written what caught my attention:

Contains Genie....

So I quickly took the cap off, 

and with a cloth I rubbed the bottle...

PFOEF

A real Genie appeared, what a surprise!

This friendly Genie was so glad to be out of this small bottle.

He was so grateful to me that I could make 3 wishes...

Hahaha, I hope you liked this conversion, now step by step how I made it:

I started my conversion again with this

figure form the 1970s Asterix range.

On my search for Romains, 

I had to buy some extra of these...

So always fun to make a special one out of them!

First step was cutting his arms and legs...

The arms just needed another pose, so I drilled a small hole in them.

Then added a part of a paperclip for a solid construction

Another hole in his body, cut the paperclip to the right size

end bend it for the pose I had in mind...

With PVC glue I filled up the holes, and also added a small ring

on his head, around the hair.

Then added a bigger paparclip and tried to make

the right basic for his Genie rope

With Milliput, covered with paper tissue I made the right shape.

Used some Paper shaper to make the tissue hard.

The form looked perfect when dry, so a gray coat spray before painting.

During the painting, I saw I forgot his beard.

So made one from a clip for a plastic bag, and pvc glue...

I also cleaned an empty Vallejo paint bottle

And put some gold paint inside

On my comupter I designed

a new label for the bottle.

My inspiration whas this drawing,

and I must say it turned out well!
